We’ve been coming to China Boi for a long time, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is incredible ,always friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to take care of their customers.
The biggest reason we keep coming back? The pho. Hands down, it’s the best I’ve ever had. And trust me, I’ve traveled the world—nothing compares to the pho at China Boi. My go-to is the oxtail (absolute favorite), but honestly, every flavor is amazing.
On top of that, the prices are very affordable, and the quality of the food is exceptional. We come every Wednesday, my day off,and it always feels like a little celebration.
I can’t recommend China Boi enough. Five stars, without question!

This a place in a deep black neighborhood. Parking is very tight. Innside is almost pitch black except for the cash register and the back bar. Tables are standup with three or four long sits draped in black linen and topped with classy electric “candelabra.” Sound is overwhelming hip hop precluding any talking. Bass thump is HUGE. Video is a ho show. Service is friendly and fast — mounds of fried rice or noodles with a few vegies and meat/ shrimp. Couldn’t really see the dishes in the dark but it Tastes good! Grilled steak on offer. Very popular… continuous stream of takeout. Can’t recommend this for dining — too loud.

The reviews were accurate ♥️
Large portions, great taste (even better reheated), and staff was friendly and engaging. We dined in. Dining area is petite with a loud sound system. DJ was engaging and took song requests. China Boi is full of blended culture and positive energy. We will definitely order from here again with the hopes of a repeat experience.

Kills me to leave this review because the people who own it and work there are amazing folks so its definitely based solely on the food I chose for dinner. Let me preface this with it’s my first time eating here and ive been in one other time just to see the menu and interior before I decided to try it out. So tonight I went in to buy dinner and sit at the bar however they were having a private party and would only allow take-out? My parents owned a restaurant for years and would never stop regular business for a private party they’d have done it after hours or the one day they were closed and they did do takeout. Anyway it’s Hibachi and it seems they’re like Boba tea places 10 years ago and they’re everywhere. So it’s close enough to walk in 3 minutes so opted to walk. When she said all they had was take-out i was upset but I was starving as well. So I ordered the crab rangoon and steak and rice but they gave me noodles and rice creating what would have been a full rice order had I gotten just the rice I wanted to get. So anyway took the food home and the best thing was the dipping sauce for the crab rangoons. So the Krab rangoons were my appetizer of choice and boy was that a bad idea. Id always assumed all crab rangoon were the same. Kind of like pizza. It’s all pretty good even bad. But I was way wrong about these. They weren’t wrapped in a crispy wonton style rice wrapping. They were wrapped in some thin, maybe rice dough, no texture, and they weren’t crispy in fact they were barely edible. Greasy like the fryer oil was dirty and temp was too low? Not sure but they were like the pillow on your bed as a kid the day after your fat drunk uncle stayed the night and sweated some off colored alcoholic sweat all night making the pillow heavier, off colored, and a really gross kind of squishy consistency filled with oil. They were awful really. I had high hopes that dinner would be better and I hurt writing this but I’m being brutally honest. So, dinner was steak Hibachi and it was genuinely the worst piece of meat ive ever eaten a bite or two of and thrown out. No sauce would help. It’s like they cooked fish or fish sauce or something on the grill and didn’t clean it when they cooked mine. They steak was under cooked with absolutely no browning whatsoever it’s like they steamed the meat under a lid. Zero flavor and again no texture at all. The meat was approx. ¼ inch thick and there was so much grissle and fat on the meat half wasn’t edible for that reason alone. The edible pieces still were awful grey pink in color. I had 2 bites both I spit out. The noodles were flavorless and super plain, the rice wasn’t any better. The egg in the fried rice wasn’t cared for in the least barely chopped up in it. Like they out no care into any of the food I ordered and unfortunately I won’t go back this isn’t a minor issue. Place was clean inside and basic. Beer selection is super small, sodas are from a can. Not at all what id hoped for. Sorry but I’m being honest hopefully you’ll get a better chef and better quality meats

Just moved here from Tampa & been looking for good spots to go to. WhenI tell youuuu I mess with this spot. Music GOOD, vibes GOOD, I haven’t tried the food yet since I’m typing this while I’m in here but I think it’s gonna be good. This spot reminds me of the different spots in ATL, other than TAIGA in Brandon this spot got the same ATL feel.
